“Spirit” Postcard

A postcard addressed to Theodore

believe that possibly the would-be
issassin. Schrank, had sent a threat
ening uie.-sage to the colonel several
week before the shooting in Milwau
kee The postcard is one of three pecu
liar messages received al the local Bull

colonel's visit, but two of these have
been misplaced. None was given to
t'olorel Roosevelt.
About a week before ('olonel Roose

contention with proof that the self
confessed accompliei s testimony is
false. We will prove that the testimony
of the crook, Luban. is false. We will
bring Lubati's brother, who Is a re- ; 1
• putable business man. who will swear
that Morris Luban told him after the !
murder that he was with a man named 1
Goodwin on the night of the murder
and knew nothing of it. We will also 1
shov by the brother that the only man 1
he knew in the case was Sam Paul.” 1
Mortis Luban had testified that he *
saw the shooting and pointed out the 1
accused to men in the court. I
Attorney Hart set out the lines of the '
| defense in four divisions. They were
I as follows:
Conspiracy of
Gamblers Charged.
1. That Becker had no direct rela- 1
lions with the gunmen who are ac- ■
cused of doing the actual killing of 1
Herman Rosenthal.
". That Jack Rose. Harry Vallon.
Louis Webber and Sam Schepps con
spired to kill Rosenthal because of a
gambling feud existing in this city.
3. Repudiation of the testimony of
Waiter Krause. Max Margolies and
Morris Luban. two of whom identified
the gunmen in court.
4. That Becker had a good character
and a good record in the police force
and that it was necessary for Becker to
have dealings with unsavory characters
in the underworld to get evidence upon
which he could make raids.
Erank H. Roberts, superintendent of
the apartment house where the Beck
ers lived, was called. Mclntyre tried
with slight success to get his testi
mony on tecord to the effect that Beck
er had ordered his telephone service
discontinued at his apartment before
the Rosenthal murder.
Justice Chases
Witness From Stand.
Justice Goff became so incensed at
the lawyers for the defense that he or
dered Morris Goodwin, one of Becker’s '
witnesses, from the stand and would
not allow' him to testify.
Frederick Whaley, a reporter for The
Evening Sun. who was assigned to write
the Rosenthal murder story, testified
that he went to the Times building
about 2:20 o'clock on the morning of the
murder and got Becket on a private
telephone.
"I told him that Rosenthal had been
assassinated. He replied. 'What are
you trying to do—kid me?' I repeated
that Rosenthal had been shot to death.
TTeeker did not believe it. 'You' mns:
have a hang-over on.' said he. When I
finally convinced him. Becker said. ‘lf
that’s true. I am sorry. I wanted to
show that fellow up.’
"Later I saw Becker at Times square
and 1 rode to the Forty-fifth street po
lice station with him on a street car."
Thomas Coupe, the night clerk at the
Elks club in West Forty-third street,
who saw the murderers of Rosenthal
pasp that club in their automobile but
fled the country in fear flint he would
be assassinated if he testified at the
Becket trial, arrived from England to
day. He was brought back by Assist
an' District. Attorney William DeFord.
DeFord appeared somewhat disturbed
when told that the evidence on Becker’s
, bank books was excluded, but said he I
hail no doubt it would be admitted later!
( on when Coupe will also testify.
Gun Men Terrified
As Trial Nears End.
1 As the trial of Becker nears its end
the gun men accused of the actual as
sassination are becoming terrified.
1 "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg has begun
> to weaken under the persuasion of his
’ wife and relatives. This was shown,
‘ the police say. when his wife took the
witness stand for the prosecution. Be
fore testifying she had been in con
ference with her husband in the Tombs
1 and it was with liis consent tliat she
agreed to testify. District Attorhey
Whitman expects to get a full confes
sin from “Lefty.”
"Gyp the Blood " Horowitz last night
made an unsuccessful effort to have
guards take him to Bellevue hospital
with the idea of escaping from tliat in- |
stitution. “Gyp" was found groaning I
in his cell, as though suffering from I
poison. A BeUrvue hospital doctor
found no indications of poison and re
fused to take the gun man to the hos
pital. The alleged assassin, forgetting !
about the poison that was supposed to
be causing poignant pain, harshly ex
pressed an unfavorable opinion of the
doctor.
The largest crowd that has assent- I
bled for the Becker trial surrounded the
; criminal courts building more than an

assistants is to be approved by council.
('hairman Smith said today that the
special committee was now ready to go
into a more thorough reorganization of
the construction department. The
most important change to be made, pos
sible only through the charter amend
ment obtained last summer, is to give
council full authority over the depart
ment.
Completion To Be
Rushed Under This Plan.
He said the committee would adopt a
plan for the order in which work shall
be taken up.
When a street improvement is begun
it is to be finished as rapidly as pos
sible. Under the old system, there re
cently were 27 pieces of unfinished work
in the city and 14 different squads of
workmen scattered in all parts of town.
More strict time limits are to be pre
scribed for contractors who are doing
work. This is the cause for the delays
on West Fourteenth street, North
Boulevard and St. Charles avenue.
The city water and sewer depart
ments and the public service corpora
tions are to be made to co-operate in a
more businesslike w&y in street im
provements. Lack of this co-operation
has caused the slow progress of the re
grading of Peachtree street.
Much time is lost in hauling stone
from the rock, quarry at the stockade
to the various sections of the city.
Either quarries are to be opened in the
different sections of the city or a con
tract will be nfade with the street rail
way company to haul the rock.
Present System
Called Cumbersome.
Mr. Smith said that one fundamental
trouble was that the city did not have
sufficient revenue to keep its street im.
provements up with its growth. He
said either a plan to require the prop
erty owners and the street railway com
pany pay all the cost of the paving ex
cept at street crossings would have to
be adopted or a bond issue would he
necessary.
He added, however, that much better
street work could be done with the
present revenue than the city now is
receiving.
"We must get rid of that old way of
pulling against eacli other in council,"
he declared.
“We must have co-operation between
the couneilmen, the different • ity con
struction departments and the public
service corporations.
"Nearly all the members of council
agree that our council of thirty mem
bers and our numerous boards are un
wieldy.
“I have talked the matter over with
a number of them and I expect to see
some sweeping reforms brought about
in a mighty short time.
"The people are tired of our old sys
tem. They showed it in the last two
primaries. We must wake up and do
our duty.
"I don't expect any serious opposition
to the new plans that soon w ill be pro
posed."
Don’t Be Fussy
About Eating
Your Stomach Will Digest Any
Kind of Food When Given
the Proper Assistance.
We are prone to fall into the error of
singling out some article of food and
soundly berating the fiend who first
Invented the dish. The habit grows
with some people till almost all food is
put on the blacklist. This is all wrong.
What is required is a little assistance
with those agencies upon which scien
tific students for many years have set
I their seal of approval because they
I have become absolute facts. Stuart's
I Dyspepsia Tablets for all stomach dis
orders are recognized; they have a fine
record; they aie rated reliable, de
pendable and w orthy of confidence jus*
as the president of a big bank puts his
O. K. on a depositor's check. And so
you can eat what you want, whatever
you like, knowing well that should in
digestion, sour risings, gas formations,
1 fermentations or any other stomach
distiess arise. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets in a few moments will put you
1 ight.
Coated tongue, bad breath, heart
burn. belching, flatulency, bloat- all the
symptoms of digestive troubles disap
pear quickly when these tablets are
i used. They are not a cure foi- anything
I but dyspepsia ami kindred complaints
■ But they have brought relief to more
| sufferers f om digestive diseases than
'all th., patent medjeines and doctors'
! pies; riptions put together.
■ The stomach does the heavie.-t work
I of any of the bodily organs, yet it's the
one we treat with the least regard. We
eat too much of the wrong kind of food
at any time. The patient stomach
stands such treatment as long as It can
|and then It icbels. You get notice of
'the rebellion in tlie shape of the puses
iand pains i-aiiriij b\ undigested. f< -

Governor. However. Hopes the
Sheriff Will Be Able to Han

Governor Brown today received s
copy of a set of resolutions adopted 4 |
a mass meeting of the people of Cum
mlng. Forsyth county, Wednesday. | r
which the attention of the governor it
called to the deplorable state of thing*
in that vicinity, and asking the gov
ernor's help and co-operation in pre
serving the peace.
The governor has not decided whetli.
er lie will send troops to Cumming,
when two negroes are sent to that pX,'
next week to be executed. He has rr
ceived no call for help so far from an\
county official.
If Judge Newt Morris asks f.., ,
military escort it will be provided, it
is understood that he will do so
The governor, however, hopes that
the sheriff, and such deputies as up
may summon to his aid, will be able to
control the situation.
